If one is to study the history of the Roman "Catholic" religious organization, one would see it was founded by the Roman emperor Constantine circa 323 AD...one would learn that this entity was founded on pagan tradition from ancient Babylon...
No point reading further since none of the above is true. You might learn the above through reading pseudo history, but actual history demonstrates the above claims to be completely unfounded.

That is the trouble with the Roman religious institutions, they refuse to acknowledge actual history, and keep trying to rewrite it...even the Bible which is clear in describing the Roman religious institution is under attack by Rome as well, and subject to rewriting at the whim of popes, who place themselves in place of God, himself..

You should tell this to your doctor, he has medications that can help you.

The Baptist Secessionist theory is an embarrassment to Baptists.

Typical Roman response...attack the messenger...that explains why the Roman church killed millions of real Christian during it's history, those who would not follow the perverted doctrines of Rome. It is why they burned Holy Bibles and forbid reading of these books, to keep the truth from people.

Once again, provide scholarly documentation supporting your rant. There isn't any. That's why you are unable to provide any. Scholarly documentation doesn't support hate propaganda. That is all it is. Lies and hate is your religion???

Follow the links I sent you and learn about the Roman religious organization and it's leadership......more to follow once you have digested all this infomation.....Remember revelation 17 and 18, review that carefully as well....as Jesus said "know the truth and it will make you free".

from the above site:
Satan countered by empowering the Jesuits of Rome, who are a military organization, to take control of the Vatican. The Jesuit General, the Black Pope, who is the False Prophet, controls the White Pope; as is using the Vatican to gather the world under his power....
...The Jesuits are using the city-state corporation of Vatican City to control the world’s religious and political leaders. It is using its city-state corporation of the City of London to control the world’s financial and trade organizations. And it’s using its city-state corporation of the District of Columbia, which is not part of the United States, to control the world’s intelligence agencies and military powers.

Paranoid funnymentalist bigotry is not scholarly, it's brain damage.​

Maybe if that site used more space to uplift faith of believers instead trashing Catholicism with lies, I might take it seriously. Nothing it says about the Catholic Church is true. The end times obsession and Revelation obsession is unbalanced and unhealthy. This kind of hate is toxic and addictive, a kind of spiritual inappropriate contentography. Only the Holy Spirit can heal you, not arguing in forums.

I see the false teachings Alberto Rivera all over it.

It proves my point that you find that antichrist, false prophoet and beast power from Revelation 17 so hilarious....it is a serious matter, but to those who do not know the truth it is funny....

You sling those terms around quite casually, I've noticed. I find that disconcerting because those are pretty serious charges. I mean, those are pretty much the worst things certain types of fundamentalists can call anybody. Considering that only one person in all of history will fit the fundamentalist view of the Antichrist literally and perfectly, the law of numbers says that accusing any given person of being the Antichrist is a mathematical improbability (or even a mathematical absurdity). So your odds of being wrong are quite high.

That means there's a very good chance that you're slandering men who are guided by the Holy Spirit with literally the worst possible insult in your entire lexicon. For as little regard as I have for Protestantism, even I'm unwilling to tear them down to quite that level.

PS- Your link didn't work for me when I clicked on it. Still waiting for a source.

Some anti-Catholics claim the Catholic Church is the harlot of Babylon of Revelation 17 and 18. Dave Hunt, in his 1994 book, A Woman Rides the Beast, presents nine arguments to try to prove this. His claims are a useful summary of those commonly used by Fundamentalists, and an examination of them shows why they don’t work.

The website seems to be a hodgpodge of conspiracy theory, largely focusing on anti-Catholic and antisemitic conspiracies, along with some talking about politics and the illuminati.

The only thing missing? Bright colored hypertext and animated gifs so that we all feel like it's still 1996.

Why don't you read your Bible....Revelation 17 and 18 and Thess 2 then get back to me....
This is not about protestantism, this is about following the Bible...protestant religions are the daughters of the great harlot referred to in Revelation 17
